| 1. |  | Indian Vacation  - Captured: 27-12-2004 8:04:00
I'm in India right now on vacation visiting extended family and friends. I've been here since the 20th and will be on vacation for the next few weeks. I have, almost, completely detached myself from work (haven't checked work email for the last 1+ week) and I've just really begun enjoying my vacation now that I'm jet-lag free. It's always great meeting extending family and friends in India. It reminds me that there's another, very different world out there. Speaking of which, family calls...

As all large corporations Microsoft also has a few execs who see little of what comes
from their work. Thats the problem with living the 40 000 feet scenario continuously.
On the other hand there are these others who have never understood that 40 000 above
reality is pretty high and some greasy details never make it there. The problem here
is misunderstanding. While the execs get news papers to communicate with the folks
below 40 000 feet, the rest of the world never get...

Next week I get to do yet another presentation with Robert Scoble, Blogger at Large. It's always a pleasure because Robert is so darn sunny in his personality and he's a natural presenter - he digs that evangelism thing and can wing it on notes taped to his sleeve. I am of course more terrified and methodical, especially when ( as with the Webcast we did together) the audience is people who do evangelism for a living and present all the time. I live and die by the Powerpoint. Oh and Advil, never...

I was surprised a few years back when James, a friend of mine, introduced me to what looked like "Spam sushi" - nori seaweed paper rolled around sushi-vinegared rice and a big long hunk of spam. I made the normal protests ("I'm too hip and cool for this Spam business ") and then shut the <blank> up and tried it. It....was.....AMAZING. I couldn't believe it. The official Hawaiian dish is called Spam musubi and you can find a recipe here, but you should really follow the traditional s...

George Soros is a Billionaire investment
capitalist who came to the attention of millions of Americans for the first time with
his 527 organization MoveOn.Org. From
where I’m sitting, George seems like kind of a nut-job and an egomaniac…but
then anyone who comes up with his own civil philosophy, and then spends billions of
dollars promoting it around the world would have to be…wouldn’t he? And
frankly, he’s the egomaniacal nu...

Like many compellingly outrageous
topics on education I’ve had brought to my attention, this one was found at Ernie’s
3-D Pancakes.
Here is an article
on the subject…and another.
The thrust of the story is, this
17-year-old kid wanted to get into an honors math course at his high school, and as
a condition of admission into this class he has to complete three very difficult calculus
problems over th...

Oh Lordy!
I had to use my drill sergeant voice today.
Now, normally, I am into the whole pro-active discipline thing. My kids are
very sensitive and spirited, so I try to minimize disruption, stick to a
schedule, keep things predictable and consistent...use reminders and
re-direction...etc.

Today
Indonesia
increased the number dead in their country alone to over 160,000, which brings the
total amount dead so far from the Tsunami to over 220,000. The
devastation is unimaginable. That is why Julia
Lerman has been organizing a lot of efforts for a local charity. She approached
me a week or two ago and wanted to try to organize a .NET Celebrity Auction on eBay
where all proceeds go to a local charity. After a lot of hard work,...

Welcome Scott Moore to the ed-blogger list from the University of Michigan whose blog already has me learning. He's thinking big blog ideas...like over 1,000 students in a section big. Oy. At least he's thinking like Barbara Ganley in terms of highlighting the best posts from him mini blogosphere in his own course blog. But 1,000 students. Sheesh. Hope he has a lot of teaching assistants...
Anyway, Scott writes about the Cluetrain Manifesto as it applies to education, and I think the vision is,...

My brain hurts. Sometimes there are just too many interesting, intensely profound ideas floating around out there. What did I do BB? (Before blogs...)
This is going to be one of those work-it-through, brain dump type posts that probably won't make much sense and rightfully shouldn't even see the light of day without more polish, but, what the heck. We had a snow day yesterday. I'm feeling brave.
My zeal for the potential of Weblogs, wikis, RSS etc. is born almost entirely from my reflective se...

While many people thought that Cablevision's satellite TV division, Voom, had been sold to EchoStar, the details are that only the single satellite, itself was sold. The rest of the company still exists... and Charles Dolan, who fought the sale to the very end has decided that, gosh darnit, he's not giving it up yet. He's agreed to buy out the additional Voom assets himself and see what he can do about growing the company again. It's likely Cablevision's so happy to see it go (and not have to...

Je kan nu je commentaar eerst previewen voordat je 'm publiceert en de interface is een stuk prettiger geworden.

We have an exciting new service for publishers and some enhancements for a couple of our most popular services. I'd also like to tie these new features to "the long view" of how we see the world of syndication evolving, and the role that FeedBurner will play in this fast-growing space.
Introducing FeedCount™
The new service that is now open to all publishers is FeedCount. This is a customizable chicklet that shows the current number of subscribers your feed reaches. I...

As the enthusiasm about Podcasting has grown in recent weeks, so has our enthusiasm for more generally managing RSS enclosures (we don't get out much). In the past couple weeks, we have received numerous emails asking if we could begin to provide services that would enable Podcasting for folks that can't currently cast, pod or otherwise. Problem solved. SmartCast™ enables any feed publisher to create Podcasts, whether you generate Atom feeds or RSS 1.0 feeds. Maybe you've got an RSS 2.0 fe...
